.During the 2012 election campaign, you’ll
probably be hearing a lot about “American
exceptionalism,” particularly from the
Republican presidential candidates.Newt Gingrich has made the concept a centerpiece
of his campaign, and Gingrich’s wife — the current one,
that is — has produced a documentary on the topic. Mitt
Romney’s campaign book is entitled No Apology: The
Case for American Greatness. Sarah Palin’s book,
America by Heart, has a chapter entitled “America the
Exceptional.” And former Sen. Rick Santorum and
Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty have also been heard
touting the topic.But don’t be fooled by rhetoric that has a lot of patriotic
appeal. In fact, the concept of American exceptionalism —
and a related theme known as national
greatness conservatism — are really modern-day propaganda
masks for old-fashioned Trotskyite communism:
rapacious imperialism and internationalism now
wrapped in the American flag, but no different from the
age-old dream of a world imperium — a global government.
Many call it the New World Order.The wizards who conjured up these themes are three
key figures in the so-called neo-conservative movement:• William Kristol, founding editor of The Weekly
Standard, long published by Zionist billionaire Rupert
Murdoch;• David Brooks, a former Kristol underling at the
Standard and now a columnist for The NewYork Times,
and;• Marshall Wittmann, a Jewish Trotskyite-turned
neo-conservative and regular Standard contributor.Kristol and Brooks began their crusade for national
greatness conservatism with a Sept. 15, 1997 Wall
Street Journal article that urged Americans to “reinvigorate
the nationalism of Alexander Hamilton, Henry
Clay and Teddy Roosevelt.”And during the 2000 presidential campaign, Wittmann
chimed in with a lengthy piece in the Standard promoting John McCain, hailing McCain as a tribune
of national greatness conservatism and as a modern-day
Theodore Roosevelt.Although many remember the first President Roosevelt
as a symbol of American greatness, the ugly truth
that the controlled media ignores is that it was “TR”
who — even before Woodrow Wilson — began calling upon the American
people to sacrifice their lives and treasure
in the cause of global conquest,
ostensibly in the name of bringing
peace to the planet.This is not nationalism. It is internationalism,
advancing the theme that
the United States should act as a
world policeman promoting some
undefined dream of democracy,
which has now become the rallying cry of the modern
Zionist-Trotskyite schemers.So TR was an internationalist, and no true American
nationalist should look to TR as a model of American
greatness. Yet, TR’s spirit is said to underlie national
greatness conservatism and American exceptionalism.More recently, in the Nov. 12, 2010 issue of The New
York Times, the aforementioned Brooks — sounding the
call for a new centrist movement in American politics —
claimed that a national greatness agenda would
be promoted by “the next big social movement.”Brooks said this national greatness agenda would
reject the views of “orthodox liberals and conservatives”
and end “hyper-partisanship.” He added that “the
coming movement may be a third party or it may support
serious people in the existing two” and preserve
American supremacy — that is, global interventionism.And don’t think it was — as the media has suggested —
just a reckless misstep by Newt Gingrich when he
criticized the Medicare reform package of Rep. Paul
Ryan (R-Wis.) saying, “I don’t think right-wing social
engineering is any more desirable than left-wing social
engineering. I don’t think imposing radical change
from the right or the left is a very good way for a free
society to operate.”The truth is that Gingrich’s rhetoric — attacking both
the right and the left in the same breath — was deliberate.
He was clearly portraying himself as one of the
centrist advocates of American exceptionalism, echoed
by other recent comments by Gingrich proudly recalling
his many years as a Rockefeller Republican.Don’t be surprised — you heard it here first — that if
he fails to win the GOP presidential nomination,
Gingrich will be part of a breakaway
centrist third party movement which
has been conjured up at the highest
levels of the establishment elite.
AFP — alone among the media — has
been reporting on this phenomenon.Another disciple of American
exceptionalism, Yale Professor David
Gelernter — another Weekly Standard figure — has promoted the idea that
Americanism is a modern-day incarnation
of Biblical Zionism and that Americans have “a
divine mission to all mankind” and that “every human
being everywhere is entitled to freedom, equality and
democracy.”In a book grandly entitled Americanism: The Fourth
Great Western Religion, Gelernter expressed the contention
that the United States (the base of what he has
called American Zionism) is now charged with an
imperial, even God-given, duty to remake the world,
that Americanism is the creed of this global agenda,
that this “Fourth Great Western Religion” is the driving
force behind — and which must establish — a new planet-wide regime. He wrote:

We are the one and only biggest boy [in the world
today]. If there is to be justice in the world, America
must create it. . . .We must pursue justice, help the suffering
and overthrow tyrants.We must spread the creed.

This is the New World Order. And this is the underlying
theme of national greatness conservatism and
American exceptionalism. But there is nothing
American about it. So don’t be fooled by what sounds
like patriotic rhetoric from the Republicans. It isn’t.
